The Next Generation of Ultimaker's High-end Materials

The all-new Ultimaker 3 3D printer introduces a carefully designed integration between materials, hardware and software. The Ultimaker 3is able to detect what type of filament is loaded by using Near Field Communication. Also, the newest version of Cura comes with specially optimized profiles that synchronize with the filament. Each profile is the result of Ultimaker's extensive testing to find the best possible settings. Simply put: you can start producing high quality 3D prints immediately.

Easy-to-Use, Remarkable Quality, & Good to Mother Earth

Ultimaker PLA possesses the relative durability of PLA. Finished print surfaces will have a shiny finish. Novices will appreciate Ultimaker PLA's ease-of-use in getting started with 3D printing. Advanced users will keep coming back to it for high-quality prints. And because it's a PLA, it's plant-based, non-toxic and biodegradable.

Printing Specifications

While it's possible to manually configure 3D printers for usage of this filament, the very best results will come from using the new, built-in profiles with the latest version of Cura.

The difference is that you will only get the benefit of automatic material detection when using the Ultimaker NFC 2.85 mm filament exclusively with the new Ultimaker 3 3D printers.

Ultimaker PLA

Ultimaker PLA (polylactic acid) filament provides a no-hassle 3D printing experience thanks to its reliability and good surface quality. Our PLA is made from organic and renewable sources. It’s safe, easy to print with and it serves a wide range of applications for both novice and advanced users.

Reasons to choose Ultimaker PLA

PLA is the preferred choice for primary and secondary schools because it’s safe and easy to print with.

Good tensile strengthGood surface qualityEasy to work with at high print speedsUser-friendly for both home and office environmentsAllows the creation of high-resolution partsIdeal for models and prototypes that require aesthetic detailGreat for lost casting methods to create metal partsA wide range of color options availablePrints in dual extrusion with PVA on Ultimaker 3

Example 3D prints using PLA

Precise model visualization

In the medical industry, doctors are utilizing 3D printed models made from PLA to help patients better understand and visualize their condition.
